Introduction

The goal of this advanced faculty development program is for University of Guadalajara professors to critically and confidently integrate open strategies and activities in their courses.

Through the use of plenary sessions, collaborative teamwork and experiential learning, the program will provide learners with the tools they need to meaningfully plan, design, implement and share open education concepts in the classroom and/or at the University. The professors will be expected to collaborate, share, and contribute openly to a community of practice that fosters the culture of open at UdG.

My first encounter with open was during my graduate studies in Ed Tech in the early 2000s and my work in learning software where ‘reusable shareable learning objects’ were the buzz words. Everyone wanted to find away to not “re-invent the wheel”…it was about finding efficiency in not duplicating effort …

I didn’t come to open via Creative Commons licenses, open textbooks, MOOCs, or open software – although those are all things that are now part of my life of open. My world of open was a pragmatic introduction to open universities, having seen a family member shut out of traditional …

I suggested to my Mural UDG colleagues that we each blog our own story of entrance into the world of open education. When one makes such suggestions, it’s a good idea to demonstrate by example. When I walked into my role in 1992 as a mullet-headed, green to the education …

This site is now official, eh? They say “eh” in Canada, or is that just a stereotype. We are excited to produce this next phase of our collaboration with the University of Guadalajara, building upon the success of the UDG Agora project. Stay tuned for more exciting news. And blog …
